We are fast approaching February ~ the month often associated with Love and Soulmates ~ and we have also entered a beautiful new year. It is an excellent time to re-evaluate what dreams or goals we have for ourselves in loving. To ask ourselves, what areas may need healing or correction, what areas may need extra care or development, and what areas might we like to establish or enhance?

I find, both personally and with my clients and students that, simply put, loving as deeply as one would like requires consciousness, energy and commitment. It is not hard to understand that we can better love when we calm our minds and open our hearts, allowing us to be present, compassionate and tuned-in to ourselves and to our loved one. Still, we often forget this simple truth.

Loving well requires sensitivity and effort, faith and courage, patience and dedication, humility and self-esteem, openness and surrender, hope and confidence. It requires the willingness to move through fear, to change and to grow, to risk and to release control.

To truly love, to love passionately and steadfastly from deep within the fiber of one's being, is a priceless Work of Art, an exquisite, unfolding Masterpiece. It is a rose, ever-evolving, ever-blooming, ever more radiantly expressing its Beauty. It is an act of conscious devotion; a bold offering of oneself; a relinquishment of fear, pride, defenses and false beliefs. It is the willingness to fearlessly become more wholly oneself and to support your beloved in the same.​Wishing you great loving in this wonderful new year!

Welcome to Fiamma D'Amore™Institute & Ministries first weekly blog. We are honored and delighted to have you! This blog will be devoted to brief teachings related to the core principles of the Institute. Today's entry is dedicated to the “Flame of Love” itself, to what it is, why it is important and how we can better support our own alignment with it. The Blessed Ones (Divine Presence) teach us that, in Truth, we are Love. It is our very essence ~ what we are made of, what all of life is made of, and what we are becoming. It is Divine Love that breathes life into us, creates the substance of our bodies, nurtures and protects us, guides every step of our journey (With greater or lesser ease depending upon how open we are to Divine support.) and illuminates our way. We are extensions and expressions of Unconditional Love! We are, in effect, “flames” of Divine Love.The Blessed Ones remind us that our wellbeing, fulfillment and joy is more fully and authentically experienced when we are aligned with the Flame of Love that is our deeper nature. When we are actively in touch with the awareness that we are not only fundamentally born and formed of Divine Love; but also, that the most important part of life is Love, our lives will consistently, positively, and even dramatically, transform for our greater good.We begin to more directly connect with the Flame of Love within us by consciously nurturing and reconnecting (if need be) with our Hearts, as it is through the Heart, that we may experience our Flame. We all have our unique ways of understanding and experiencing the Heart. It is different for each of us, and if we are unfamiliar with how to access the Heart, it sometimes helps to think of it as the deeper, more intuitive and internal, wise rhythms pulsing within us. It also helps to remember what it feels like when we love unconditionally, as our Hearts are more open at those times. We may also think of the Heart as a “muscle” that will strengthen and develop skill with conscious loving attention; just as any muscle in our body would do. As your Heart grows in its vitality within you, its ability to support you will increase.The Heart will lead and light our way, if we let it and support its growth. It will bring us back home, back to center and back to the Flame of Love alive within us that we may know joy and dance with abandon into the beauty of our beings.
